The Challenge

Greenback uses Salesforce as its CRM to manage it clients and CPAs. They used existing middleware integration with a prebuilt connectors and recipes to connect Salesforce and Freshbooks. The pre-built middleware’s integration components were out-of-date with the latest Freshbooks API changes causing errors requiring manual fixes. Declarative Webhooks was used to replace this middleware with a Salesforce-native solution with better integration logging and quickly and easily adaptable to the new API requirements.

Previously, Greenback had been using middleware integration with pre-built connectors and recipes to connect Salesforce and Freshbooks, a cloud-based accounting software. However, as Freshbooks updated their API, the pre-built integration components began to cause errors, requiring manual fixes and causing a lot of frustration for Greenback’s team.

The Solution

That’s when they turned to Declarative Webhooks, a powerful integration tool that allows for easy connection between Salesforce and any third-party platform, to replace this middleware. Declarative Webhooks provided a Salesforce-native solution that was better integrated, had better logging capabilities and was quickly and easily adaptable to the new API requirements.

The Outcome

With Declarative Webhooks in place, Greenback was able to streamline their process and eliminate the errors caused by the outdated middleware. They now have a more efficient and reliable integration between Salesforce and Freshbooks, which has allowed them to focus on providing their clients with the best possible service.

As a result of this integration, Greenback has seen a 98% reduction in integration errors and virtually no remaining manual effort to fix mistakes. These numbers demonstrate the significant positive impact Declarative Webhooks had on Greenback
